Plot

In the heart of South Central Los Angeles, a 14-acre urban oasis emerges from the remnants of the 1992 LA riots - the largest community garden in the United States. Spawned as a beacon of healing in a neighborhood scarred by devastation, The Garden chronicles the extraordinary journey of the South Central Farmers. From the ashes of turmoil, they nurture life, cultivating their own sustenance, nourishing their families, and fostering a vibrant community. But all is not tranquil in this verdant paradise. The specter of bulldozers looms, threatening to raze their sanctuary to the ground. The Garden delves into the raw, uncompromising struggle between these urban cultivators, the city of Los Angeles, and a formidable developer who covets their Eden for warehouses. This tale of resilience and defiance is a testament to the power of community and the human spirit's indomitable will to survive.
